Philosophers of mathematics

C. I. Lewis

Clarence Irving Lewis (April 12, 1883 – February 3, 1964), usually cited as C. I. Lewis, was an American academic philosopher. He is considered the progenitor of modern modal logic and the founder of conceptual pragmatism. First a noted logician, he later branched into epistemology, and during the last 20 years of his life, he wrote much on ethics. The New York Times memorialized him as "a leading authority on symbolic logic and on the philosophic concepts of knowledge and value." He was the first to coin the term "Qualia" as it is used today in philosophy, linguistics, and cognitive sciences. (Wikipedia).

PrepTest 3 Game 1: Two-Dimensional Grouping // Logic Games [#09] [LSAT Analytical Reasoning]

Today, we take a look at the first game from the first section of the December 1991 LSAT. In the video, I call this a mapping game, but on reflection, I think it's more of a two-dimensional grouping game. There's a particular deduction about what meals Nat can have that ends up being parti
